A26 Ventures
About A26 Ventures
An early-stage venture fund structured like a fund but run like a network: 105 investing members back every deal together, writing $25K checks at a startup's first round, with each investment decided by a majority vote of the members.
Founders with domain mastery that competitors cannot copy; a rough MVP plus early signal is enough at the stage A26 invests; a UCLA connection is welcomed.
Sydney (Tiedt) Singh
Founder & Head of A26 Ventures
Per a26.vc: 105 investing members; 75+ startups reviewed each quarter; about two investments made every ten weeks; the capital is committed before a vote, so the check goes out when the vote passes. Members meet Wednesday nights, 8-10pm PT, for founder pitches. The fund says it likes to see an MVP, early traction, and a connection to UCLA. Location is inferred from the UCLA affiliation; the site does not publish a street address.
